Black Mole on 9 Yr Old.

Most moles are simply the concentration of pigment in the skin ranging from pale tan to black. You should worry when the mole is larger than a pencil eraser, uneven coloring, has irregular (bumpy) edges or is changing rapidly.

I have had moles removed. Get the doc to check it out and go from there. It is an outpatient/office procedure if it needs to be removed.

My dad had about a million of them on his back, they are just moles. My husband has few, they are nothing as well. Both men have had them biopsied, nothing.

Apparently they are just moles, that are black.

I just saw a dermatologist about something similar. There are many types of benign (cancer-free) moles and a whole range of pigments. Apparently, moles on hands and feet are known to be more troublesome. Get it checked out, and take a picture of it each month. If it is changing (in size, shape, color, border), get her back there, ASAP.

it's probably nothing. stop freaking out. you're going to get it checked out, which is the sensible thing to do.

My husband has a dark mole on his chin but he has always had it. Anything new should be checked out.

My 16 yr old son has them. We went to a dermatologist just to be on the safe side (my husband had a small skin cancer). The dermatologist didn't have a problem with them.

I would see a dermatologist just to check it out.

Is your daughter blond or red-headed? Does she have blue or green-eyes? These are risk factors. If she gets a lot of son, be sure to slather the sunscreen. (I have a red-headed son and we live on the coast so I am pretty strict about this.
Get it checked out. I am sure it is fine, but no doctor is going to be upset that you want this checked out.
